The No. 10 Nebraska volleyball team came up just short of its sixth national title on Saturday night, losing a five-set heartbreaker to No. 4 Wisconsin at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, in the longest Championship Match in NCAA history in front of 18,755 fans, the largest crowd in NCAA history.
The Huskers, who were the first to 20 points in three of the first four sets, won the first set 25-22, before Wisconsin took the next two sets 31-29 and 25-23. NU fought back to force a fifth set with a 25-23 come-from-behind victory in set four.
